They say that music is the language of the soul, and Mr. Joey Ballard puts all of his soul into music. Joey is a multi-instrumentalist who teaches music at Margaret Beeks Elementary School and plays as much as he can when he goes home. They call it playing music for a reason and it's supposed to be fun!

Joey performs solo and is a member of the bands Howlin' Mudbellies and The Yams. His influences include Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder and Warren Zevon.
